Is this a result of Trump's refusal to acknowledge defeat on Jan 6th?

I think when you cry wolf and get away with it, you usher in an era of cry wolves and the established system gets torn down quicker than you think.

It takes hundreds of years to establish the kind of trust and good will people have in our election system. But one lying candidate who refuses to concede may very well ruin it.

His reference of the fall of bagdad starts roughly 1: 15 into the video. There's a worrisome correlation between the loss of innovation and advancement in science in the islam world 8 hundred years ago to what's happening in the American education and future advancement today.

George Carlin suggested the Ameican education sucked because the people in charge of this country doesn't want " a population of people capable of critical thinking... it doesn't help them...it's against their interest. They want obedient workers. People who are just smart enough to run the machines and do the paper works, and just dumb enough to passively accept all these shittier jobs with the reduced pay, longer hours, the end of overpay, and the vanishing pension that dissappears the minute you go to collect it. And now they go for your social security."

I think we should be concerned. Because what happened in Jan 6, 2021 has showned us that the public are really this stupid, dumb, and easily manipulated that they've lost the ability to think for themselves. They are no longer capable of critical thinking.

Who are you quoting?

What attributes do you admire about Trump?

What did he do when he was in office that benefited you?

"When one supports Trump this is what they are getting:

Is Trump actually as awful as he appears to be - are there any redeemable qualities?
Trump, after being observed by many licensed medical professionals, for many years, has been diagnosed with:

Malignant Narcissistic Personality Disorder

Preoccupied with fantasies about beauty, brilliance, success, and power

Unable to handle criticism

Tendency to lash out if they feel slighted

Likely to take advantage of others to get what they want

Overly concerned about their appearance

Have an expectation of being treated as superior

Lack of empathy for others

Inflated sense of self and inability to self-regulate

Have no remorse for hurting others and no interest in apologizing unless it benefits them

Have an attitude of deserving the best of everything

Tendency to monopolize conversations and/or mistreat those who they perceive as inferior

Hidden insecurity and a weak sense of self

Tendency to blame others for their own bad behavior

Seeing the world in black-and-white terms, including seeing others as either friend or foe

Seeking to win at all costs, leaving a great amount of pain, frustration, and even heartache in their wake

Not caring about the pain they cause others—or maybe even sadistic, enjoying it and experiencing it as empowering"


Who would ever want that personality as President let alone the leader of the free world? We have seen how destructive it has been to the country and how that created chaos, division, anger and made so many feel the same methods should be emulated as validated conduct?

And every one of those "professionals" violated the law and rules of their professions, since only someone who has personally seen and administered tests may make a diagnosis. So what you have quoted is nothing more than the opinions of people who have stated their disdain for Trump and used their background/profession to try and sway the opinions of people to dumb to look for information without prejudice.

PS. The ones who have divided the country are for the most part democrats and by saying "he's bad, racist, etc" to people who lack critical thinking skills.

If you were to accuse your wife of cheating every chance you got, she would at a minimum divorce you and find someone else or just find someone else without the divorce, since if you're being accused of something relentlessly you might as well do it... Both lead to her having sex with someone else.

You can say whatever you want about me but any response that includes reference to my wife, in any way, shape or form, whatever the reason, veiled or blatant, is seriously out of line.

I realize you may be ignorant but I would think you would at least know the difference between a reference and a homily.
